Launching a Photo Biz from Scratch with Shayla Pelton

Hosted by: James Patrick

 

Today, we get to chat about something I get a lot of joy out of which is building a career in the photography industry. Whether or not you’re in the photography business you can relate this to establishing something that you have a passion for, building a support network for it, and the lessons you learn along the way.
